"Go to definition" when clicking in a function

[Javier]

Hello,

I love NppGTags but there is a functionality that I miss: "Go to definition" when clicking in a function like SourceCookifier does:

It would be great to have it in NppGTags,

Thank you and regards!

Hi,

I do not understand you well, sorry.
Could you describe in more details (example would also help) what functionality you would like to have?

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi,

Thank you for your response and sorry for my bad explanation. I will try to explain it better with an example:
Scenario
Folder/File1.c:

void function() {printf("Hello world 1!")}

File2.c:

void function() {printf("Hello world 2!")}

Example.c:

void function() {
printf("Hello world example!");
}
int main() {
function();
}

Then, if you press the key "CTRL" and click over the calling to "function()" then the result would be:

The number between brackets is the line number

I hope this time I explained it better.

Thanks and regards,
Javi

Hi Javi,

I understand you now, thanks for the explanation.

Well, NppGTags has 'Go to Definition' command that does just that. It only places the results below the document (not in a pop-up window next to the cursor but in Notepad++ docking window). That makes it possible to colorize the results, search them, copy them, etc. and makes them more easy to navigate in case of many matches.
